Bridgestone Golf, the #1 Ball-Fitter in Golf, today released the results of MindSet testing with players from a wide range of handicaps. After being available at retail for just six months, Bridgestone conducted in-depth consumer testing to determine if players are saving meaningful strokes with MindSet and exactly how many.
